Remove iMessages remotely?

So, at my job we had Macs and I had my Apple ID connected to my work computer. I quit unexpectedly and didn’t get the chance to remove my ID from the computer. My messages, of course, are still going to be on the computer. I don’t want my old boss being able to view my messages/send messages from it (yes, I believe she WOULD do something like this). I removed the device from my Apple ID list, and changed my password.

Will this remove messages from that computer, or will she be able to see my last messages? Is there any other way I could remove them remotely? Going back into the office is not an option at this point.

Mac mini 2018 or later

You have to be syncing messages using iCloud to remove them remotely. To do that, you need to delete the messages from another device/computer which will remove the messages from all your devices/computers. Since you removed the computer from your device list, that may not work if you have 2 Factor Authentication enabled on your account..
